Detection of CD23 mRNA expression in B-cell lymphoma by in situ hybridization with digoxigenin-labelled DNA probe / 中国病理生理杂志

AIM: To detect CD23 mRNA expression in B-cell lymphoma. METHODS: 20 pathological diagnostic conformed B-cell lymphoma samples were selected. Surface CD23 protein expression was examined by SP-immunohistochemistry and CD23 mRNA was detected by in situ hybridization with digotoxin labeled CD23 DNA probe.RESULTS: The positive rates of both surface CD23 protein and CD23 mRNA expression in B-cell lymphoma samples were more than 90%. CONCLUSIONS: The high expression of CD23 was showed in B-cell lymphoma both in mRNA and in protein levels. The results of this study was useful for understanding the molecular mechanism of B-cell lymphoma and for clinical diagnosis and treatment of the disease.
